Shouldn't 7-zip features be part of Windows from the get

>Windows
no one cares

Microsoft can't possibly implement that without getting a slap on the wrist from the EU and forcing them to make yet another edition without those features.

If it was included it would be shit, guaranteed.
Also, you can already extract regular .zip files.

>>62231120
WinRAR wouldn't make any money then!

Do you want ANOTHER default attack vector for Windows systems?
Microsoft would never be able to implement an archiver in a way that doesn't invite exploitation, and then doesn't release patches unless you are on the newest version of Windows.

Also, doesn't Windows have zip-support since at least Win7?

>>62231120
They already have .zip extraction at least

>>62231120
>extract
>files
Both of these are problematic for Microsoft's subscription idea.

GPL/7zip
/interjection.

>>62234388
Contains a non-cleanroom implementation of unrar, so nope.

>doesn't Windows have zip-support since at least Win7?
Pretty sure it was added in XP.

>>62234458
7Zip is GPL licensed with an exception for non-free unrar.
So yes.

>>/v/

>>62234720
Nope, added in 7

reminder that 7zip still doesn't let you queue jobs

>>62231120
Why should i use this instead of winrar?

7zip fags literally have no excuse not to use WinRAR. Available for *nix and ARM platforms.

It's closed source, and it's qualitatively worse (I say having been one of like ten people to ever actually buy it).

>>62235435
Definitely added in XP, it's in build 2600. It isn't a very good implementation and doesn't deal with encrypted archives, btw.

There's no reason they couldn't add support in principle. They do use, and have, LZMA2.
